More quotes by Rick Riordan, The Blood of Olympus

"Nico found a sort of freedom in knowing that eventually, no matter what happened, he would end up at the foot of his father’s throne."
"Nico knew something about ghosts. Letting them get inside your head was dangerous. He wanted to help Reyna, but since his own strategy was to deal with his problems alone, spurning anyone who tried to get close, he couldn’t exactly criticize Reyna for doing the same thing."
"After his experience with Minos, Nico realized that most spectres held only as much power as you allowed them to have. They pried into your mind, using fear or anger or longing to influence you. Nico had learned to shield himself. Sometimes he could even turn the tables and bend ghosts to his will."
"You will suffer, son of Hades!’ What else is new? Nico thought."
"A wind that blows aimlessly is no good to anyone."
